Thunderstorm Sandwich

Good Morning, Kittens!

It seems like summer may have arrived. Yesterday, around 6:30AM, I awoke to the crash and flash of a line of thunderstorms rolling through, creating havoc and setting off car alarms. I thought about the poor saps who had to go to work in that mess and fell back asleep. Ha!

The rest of the day was not productive. Can I blame the heat? I think I will.

Then, just after Martini Time, another line of thunderstorms passed by. Take a look at the Fabulous Ms. Bluestocking's photos of the storms here.

The storms passed, and in the rain, SCGB and I headed over to our friends' house for dinner. We had a yummy mixed greens salad with strawberries, portabello mushrooms caps, and quinoa with black beans. Tasty tasty.

After dinner, we played darts in the basement. Good times!

SCGB and I got home a little before 11, and I decided to watch Gypsy (with Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood) on DVD. It was slightly different from what I remembered. It's possible I saw another version back in the day. Anyway, love it.

Around 2, I finally dragged myself off the sofa and went to bed. As I walked around the house turning off the lights, this happened:

If you can't tell from the pictures, it's the globe from the light fixture/fan in my dining nook. The screws must have vibrated loose just enough so that when I reached up to turn it off. KAH-RAAAASH! Ugh. I think the ceiling fan in the spare room is the same size. Hopefully, I'll be able to use that globe to replace the smashed one.
